Karen Clarkson, marketing and business development manager for Parker Bullen, said: "Working with the team at Julia’s House during 2022 has been an absolute pleasure and we are so pleased that our involvement has raised such an incredible amount.

“I was also particularly moved to visit the Hospice based in Devizes and see first-hand the amazing and important work the centre provides.  To know that the funds and awareness we have raised is going to such a wonderful cause is a great moment for us as a firm and for all the staff who took part.”  

Money raised by Parker Bullen could supply 10 sessions of respite care and specialist play activities in families’ homes to give them three hour breathing space to rest and recharge. 

This year Julia’s House will celebrate their 20th anniversary. 

Alice Chalmers, Julia’s House public fundraising manager, said: “We’re hugely thankful to everyone at Parker Bullen for their incredible support for Julia’s House children’s hospice over the past year. They have been absolute stars – bringing passion and whole lot of energy and smiles to every event they’ve taken part in.
